Kawasaki disease and immunisation: A systematic review.

Background: Kawasaki disease is a complex and potentially serious condition. It has been observed in temporal relation to immunisation.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review using various reference sources to review the available evidence published in the literature.

Vasculitis as an adverse event following immunization - Systematic literature review.

Background: Several types of vasculitis have been observed and reported in temporal association with the administration of various vaccines. A systematic review of current evidence is lacking.

Objective: This systematic literature review aimed to assess available evidence and current reporting practice of vasculitides as adverse events following immunization (AEFI).

Spontaneous reports of vasculitis as an adverse event following immunization: A descriptive analysis across three international databases.

Background: Vasculitides have been reported as adverse events following immunization (AEFI) following various vaccines. We describe reports of vasculitis to three international spontaneous reporting systems.

Methods: All spontaneous reports of vasculitis following immunization between January 2003 and June 2014 were retrieved from Eudravigilance (EV), the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), and VigiBase.

Role of pharmacovigilance on vaccines control*.

The pharmacovigilance of vaccines is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, prevention and communication of adverse events of immunization, or any other vaccine, or issues related with immunization. The strengthening of pharmacovigilance is very important in every country because it helps professional health care workers to avoid the problems with immunization, protect the health of people from adverse events during immunization. The success of the immunization system is reducing morbidity and mortality related to the vaccine.
